Things have not gone quite as smooth in the Bay Area over the past few months, the start of February offering the greatest struggles. The Warriors were unable to pull off even one win in their most recent four-game road trip, from Feb. 5-9. Still, they remain calm.

"We have no panic, but it's very frustrating," said forward David Lee, fresh off a 116-91 loss to the Mavericks. "Not only losing four games in a row, but the manner in which we lost them. Every team goes through the up and downs during the season. The key for us is to figure it out sooner rather than later and have a good last game before the All-Star break."

The Warriors’ only game before break is against Houston, host of All-Star Weekend, at home on Feb. 12.

During a break from competition that lasts until Feb. 19 in Utah, the Warriors will have plenty to think about. As Lee alluded to, Golden State has not only lost but it has lost ugly.

Never known for defense, the Warriors have taken a drastic backslide from the level of defensive effort showed when they were at their best.

In losing their last four games, the Warriors allowed opponents to score more than 115 points three times. Their opponents averaged 118.5 points. The average loss margin in that span was 20.7 points. The low point came in a 140-109 loss at Houston on Feb. 5. The Rockets had a record night of 23 3-pointers and the Warriors had no answers.

"We're fine. There's no panic," he said. "We lost another game, we didn't play well, we made mistakes, we did not put together 48 minutes of basketball, but there's going to be no panic. We're going to regroup and be preparing for the next one."
